Smith, Raiders' Offense Fail to Take Advantage of Several Opportunities

Raiders' Offense Struggles Again in Week 10

DENVER, CO. — The Las Vegas Raiders’ offense continues to hinder the team’s success. In Week 10, the Raiders again failed to capitalize on opportunities, contributing to their loss against the Denver Broncos.

Quarterback Performance and Scoring Issues

Raiders quarterback Geno Smith recorded 143 passing yards, threw one interception—which was not entirely his fault—and failed to score a touchdown. Las Vegas started strong with an early 7-0 lead but could not add any points for the remainder of the game.

Offensive Line Problems

The offense took another hit when offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson exited early with an ankle injury, compounding pressure on a struggling line that was already missing Kolton Miller. The unit’s performance worsened after Powers-Johnson left the game.

Raiders Offensive Coordinator Chip Kelly previously said he thought Powers-Johnson was a little overconfident. Thursday’s game showed Powers-Johnson had reason to believe in himself.

Overall Offensive Challenges

Without Miller and Powers-Johnson, the Raiders' offense ranks among the worst in the NFL. Smith and the offensive unit struggled throughout the entire game, a trend that has plagued Las Vegas all season.

Summary

The Raiders’ offensive struggles, worsened by injuries and missed chances, have significantly impacted their 2025 season, leaving the team unable to sustain momentum in games.
